Camperhus Conversions of Great Britain has a slightly different idea, though: Instead of trying to make it drive better or look better, the company is turning the famous four-wheel-drive into a camper.

The basic idea isn’t all that different from the concept pioneered by the likes of the Volkswagen Westphalia decades ago: take a boxy passenger vehicle, rip out everything inside behind the front seats and replace it with an Ant-Man-sized version of the basics of a home, then add a pop-up roof to free up some added space. For the case of the Land Rover Camper, as Camperhus calls it, the company starts with a long-wheelbase Defender 110 — shorter Defender 90 models don’t have the space for a full-size bed — and outfits it with a sink, refrigerator, stove, and a roughly-full-size bed that folds out when it’s time to sleep. Water tanks come in 9.5- and 10.5-gallon capacities, while there’s a space for a midsized cooking and heating gas bottle, as well. And while the pop-top isn’t large enough for adults to lie down up there — it’s primarily there to give users space to stand upright in back — it’s possible to fit sleeping arrangements for kids there.

Of course, you’ll have to BYO Defender, but finding one in England shouldn’t be too hard. Sneaking one over to the United States might take a little more work; so long as you base your conversion around a Landie made in 1994 or earlier, however, the government’s classic vehicle import rules mean you should be able to overlander across America in one-of-a-kind style without too much trouble.
